We recommend that you submit your proxy in advance in the event your plans change or you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting. If you have already voted your shares prior to the Annual Meeting, you do not need to vote those shares during the annual meeting unless you want to revoke or change your vote.
What if I change my mind after I have voted?
If you change your mind after you have given us your proxy to vote you can amend your voting decision in several ways. We refer to this as “revoking” your proxy. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by giving written notice of revocation to our Secretary, at 401 Merritt 7, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851, by executing and delivering a later-dated proxy, either in writing, by telephone or via the Internet, or by participating in the Annual Meeting and voting virtually via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FYBR2023. Participation in the Annual Meeting will not alone constitute revocation of a proxy.
If I hold my shares in street name, does my broker need instructions in order to vote my shares?
If you hold shares of common stock in street name and you do not submit specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, how your shares may be voted will depend on the type of proposal. Brokers, banks and other nominees generally will have discretion to vote your shares on routine matters but will not have discretion to vote your shares on non-routine matters.
• | The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 (Proposal No. 2) is considered routine under applicable rules. Your broker, bank or other nominee may vote in their discretion without instruction from you. |
• | All other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are considered non-routine under applicable rules. Your broker, bank or other nominee will not be able to vote without instruction from you. |
When the broker, bank or other nominee is unable to vote on a proposal because the proposal is not routine, and you do not provide voting instructions, a “broker non-vote” occurs and, as a result, your shares will not be voted on these proposals.
If I hold my shares as a registered stockholder but do not give specific voting instructions, how will my shares be voted?
If you sign, date and return a proxy card but do not give specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement. We know of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. However, the proxy holders may determine in their discretion how to vote your shares on any other matters properly presented for a vote at our Annual Meeting. Although our Board does not anticipate that any of the director nominees will be unable to stand for election as a director nominee at our Annual Meeting, if this occurs, proxies will be voted in favor of such other person or persons as may be nominated by our Board.
PARTICIPATING IN THE ANNUAL MEETING
We are pleased to invite stockholders to participate in the Annual Meeting virtually via the internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FYBR2023. We believe hosting a virtual meeting will promote greater stockholder attendance, by enabling stockholders that might not otherwise be able to travel to a physical meeting to attend online, while also reducing the costs of the annual meeting.
To participate in the Annual Meeting, you must be a Frontier stockholder as of the March 21, 2023 record date. You may vote your shares on the virtual meeting website during the Annual Meeting by logging in as a stockholder using the control number you received with our proxy materials. You may also log in as a guest if you do not have your control number, but you will not be able to vote your shares online or submit questions via the virtual meeting website as a guest.
We welcome questions from our stockholders. Questions may be submitted prior to the annual meeting at www.proxyvote.com or you may submit questions in real time during the meeting using the annual meeting website www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FYBR/2023.
We have scheduled a general question and answer section at the conclusion of the meeting for matters appropriate for discussion. We have allocated one hour for the meeting, including to address questions.
